Thirty years ago (nearly)!

This Tuesday evening at 21.00, AS Monaco host RC Lens - who also provided the opposition back on 26 January 1985, when the Red & Whites played their very first game at the current Stade Louis-II!

The "new" Stade Louis-II has been the venue for AS Monaco's home matches for nearly thirty years now. The very first match played there ended in a convincing win 3-0 for the Red & Whites against RC Lens on Division 1 matchday 23 of the 1984-1985 season. At the end of that campaign, AS Monaco finished third in the league and won the Coupe de France, beating PSG in the final at the Parc des Princes.

As AS Monaco prepare to host Lens once again this evening, it's only right that today's Image of the Day features this unique stadium, built on land reclaimed from the sea at the initiative of HRH Prince Rainier III. #LikeNowhereElse
